There is a tool to list all the device mappers used for block devices under Linux. Simply type the following to list the maps:
# lsblk
It shall show something like the following:
There you can see the dm number for each lvm volume is listed under first bracket. For example the swap in this server is created with LVM with the name vg_iof442/swap and has the dm-1 mapping.
